Marc van der Leeden’s paintings are seen as impressionistic expression rather than strict representation of architectural and landscape subjects. Utilizing a limited palette with graphite outlines and simplicity of design, he creates watercolors that are clearly his own.

After completing medical school, Marc van der Leeden took local art classes, but is largely a self-taught artist. In addition to actively painting, he continues to practice medicine full time. His work has been shown nationally in solo shows in New York City and Vermont, as well as internationally in Italy. He was featured in Watercolor magazine in Fall 2000, as well as a book entitled How did you paint that? 100 Ways to Paint Landscapes, Vol. 1
